AFGHANISTAN
72. Representative concentration pathways (RCPs) are GHG emission scena
rios adopted by the IPCC to describe four possible climate depending on the levels of future global GHGs emitted. There are four RCPs: 1) RCP2.6, which assumes that GHG emissions peak between 2010-2020 and then decline; 2) RCP4.5, which ass umes that GHG emissions peak around 2040 and then decline; 3) RCP6, which assumes that GHG emissions peak around2080 and then decline; and 4) RCP8.5, which
assumes that GHGs emi sions continue to rise throughout the 21st century3. Savage, M., et. al. (2008). Socio-economic Impacts of Climate Chang

National Commu nications from non-Annex I countries, such as Afghanistan, generally include sections o n GHG inventories, identification of measures to mit igate and facilitate adequate adaptation to climate change, and any other information that th e Party considers relevant to the achievement of the objective of the Convention.

was approved as an outcome of the 2005 Second World Conference on Disaster Reduction. The HFA runs from 2005-2015, and has five specific priorities: 1) making disa ster risk reduction a priority; 2) improving risk information and early warning; 3) building a culture of safety and resi lience; 4) reducing risks in key sectors; and 5) strengt hening preparedness for response.
